Quantum mechanics is the branch of science that deals with aspects of reality inconceivable to the human eye. Despite being incorporated into our lives on a daily basis, quantum mechanics does not have the importance of classical physics, biology and chemistry as its presence is not often recognized by ordinary people. This dwarfed branch of science belongs to quantum physics which describes the foundation of all things we know and essentially describes the physical processes and actions that take place at extremely infinitesimal levels such as at the molecular level to produce the things we see today. On the other hand, quantum mechanics fundamentally delves into probability and how things arise from it (Maudlin). Ultimately, quantum mechanics demonstrates the false notion of physical reality that we humans blindly believe in since it is based solely on how our minds understand reality. First, one application of quantum mechanics in my life that had altered my typical sense of reality was when two years ago I was watching television. Typically, we humans perceive what we see only through our eyes as physical reality. However, during that time, I had learned in science class that there is much more going on in the processes and things we see every day than meets the eye. The appearance of objects and processes is actually the work of many smaller sequences that occur within and that cause the object or process to appear that way to our eyes. This hit my beliefs about reality very hard as I realized that reality is only what we humans can perceive. For example, we humans believe that a CRT television appears to operate in one fluid motion, but in reality what makes it operate this way is the rapid firing of electrons onto the screen... in the middle of the paper... ... undation on which both are built. It also seeks to clarify our interpretation of reality as simply our mind at work and to demonstrate that there is more than meets the eye that creates our perceptions. It is best represented as an eternal branch of physics that will never be finished and will always question what we believe to be real. Works Cited Loewer, Barry. "Philosophy of Physics".
